2016 WYD Krakow

Thousands of pilgrims have taken over not just Krakow but many places around it, including Wadowice, the nearby hometown of St. John Paul II. The excitement will ramp up even more with the arrival of Pope Francis on Wednesday.

Over the next week, hundreds of Krakow’s churches, and even sports arenas, will hold catechesis sessions given by some of the world’s 844 bishops and 47 cardinals who are expected to attend this week. There will also be concerts, musical plays, a soccer championship and countless other activities - all part of World Youth Day (WYD), which isn’t actually a “day” but a week long youth rally. From the moment Pope Francis shows up Wednesday afternoon until Sunday evening when he departs, he’s scheduled to deliver nine speeches and three public homilies.

About Us

The Province of Meribah strives to discern and respond to the needs of the Church today.
We see the Catholic school as the center of apostolic activities, activities which make their effect felt far beyond the walls of the classroom.
As a consequence of our profession of vows, we enter a new family, our religious community. In this religious community, we assume new relationships and responsibilities toward God, our Brothers in community, and the People of God.
By our profession in the Society of Mary, we commit ourselves to grow in holiness and to bring all to Christ.

The Province of Meribah

Our vocation is an infinite gift, offered to us by Jesus in the name of his Mother. As Marianists, we dedicate our lives to Mary. We are honored to follow her example of humble service and faithful discipleship in every aspect of our life.

The Province of Meribah welcomes young men who have graduated from high school to join them in their life of prayer, dedication to the common life, and mission of educating the young.
